the powerful stigma of mental health issues

The stigma towards virtually any mental health issues has the unfortunate affect of causing people struggling with mental health challenges to stigmatize themselves. I know this from painful personal experience. I was well recovered from a challenging mental health disability but for years I continued to see myself as less than whole.

I stigmatized myself.

I set myself free about a year ago. I feel happier with each passing day. It is great to see myself as I always was.  Normal.
